Grades due today for all WAOL SHARED Courses

Summer WAOL grades for ALL shared courses are due today by midnight in order to ensure student’s grades are forwarded to their enrolling colleges. Student access to their ANGEL summer classrooms will be turned off on Wednesday, August 25th.

WAOL Web Grading –

Grades are collected from instructor rosters in their “MyWAOL” EID accounts, and you must now have that nugget added to your ANGEL homepage to be able to access your account. If you have not yet added this link to your ANGEL homepage please do so right away. You can find instructions on doing this in this blog post: http://blog.waol.org/2010/08/12/1071/

WAOL Web Grading will be used rather than Instructor Briefcase to assign grades to students enrolled in any waol shared courses. Grades may be entered up until midnight after which WAOL Web Grading will be turned off.

WAOL System-owned Shared Course ITT Deadline – Thursday, August 26th

The deadline for approved Intent to Teach forms for faculty who plan on teaching any WAOL system-owned shared course fall quarter is next Thursday, August 26th. So instructors who have not yet sent in an ITT and planned on teaching a system-owned shared course for fall 2010 must have those in and approved by your ELC no later than next Thursday. I will start assigning the WAOL shared course sections based on seniority and approved ITT forms on Friday, August 27th.

Please remember that if you do not get your ITT submitted and approved by the deadline that your name will go to the bottom of the list of instructors teaching fall quarter.

MyWAOL Link Reminder

*MyWAOL Link Reminder*

Faculty have access to the WAOL nugget only through WAOL ANGEL. If you have not yet added this nugget to your ANGEL account please be sure to do so.

You must have the nugget added to your ANGEL homepage so you can submit ITT forms and to access your WAOL student rosters for reporting summer grades for shared courses. Summer quarter ends next Wednesday, August 18th and shared grades are due the following Monday, August 23rd.

Once logged in to ANGEL, you must add the MyWAOL nugget by editing your ANGEL desktop. Attached are step-by-step instructions on how to do that.

Please note: MyWAOL faculty accounts will no longer work from waol.org—only from WAOL ANGEL nugget.

MyWAOL Faculty Accounts ONLY accessible through ANGEL

Audience: All faculty who teach using WAOL Course IDs

When: Beginning June 17th

What: Faculty now have access to the WAOL nugget only through WAOL ANGEL. This change has two advantages:

Faculty have one less logon place, userID and password to remember
Since faculty will be starting in their college-based domain, their Intent to Teach forms will automatically be set up for that college, preventing a common error of choosing the wrong college

Some instructors who do not regularly use WAOL ANGEL have been using a MyWAOL account to access the media server. They now need an account in MyWAOL ANGEL. Click for the self-registration form, which is the quickest and best way for them to get into WAOL ANGEL.

How: Once they are logged in, they must add the MyWAOL nugget by editing their ANGEL desktop. Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.
